The book is so touching that it has been loved by readers for over a hundred years. After re-reading it recently, I have learned an important lesson. In our daily lives, we may sometimes find ourselves in trouble ——hungry, lost, or lonely. When a stranger comes up and offers help, what should we do? Many people might feel thankful and accept it without thinking twice. But is it always safe? In the story, Oliver Twist ran away from a hard life and decided to go to London. He walked twenty miles that day, with only a piece of bread and some water begged(乞讨) from houses. On the first night, he slept under a tree, feeling lonely, cold and hungry. Early on the seventh morning, he finally reached a small town just outside London. There, a boy about his age came up to him. The boy said he could buy Oliver some food. He also said he knew a nice old gentleman in London who would let Oliver live in his place for free. The boy's name was Jack Dawkins, but people called him “The Artful Dodger. ”Artful” means he was clever at getting what he wanted, and “Dodger” means he was good at not getting caught when he did something wrong. When Oliver heard this, he felt very doubtful. He did not know if he should trust the boy. This story teaches us a valuable lesson: not everyone who offers help is truly kind. When we are in trouble, we should stay alert (警觉的) and think twice before trusting a stranger. A wise choice can keep us safe from harm. 23. Who is the writer of Oliver Twist? A. Jack Dawkins. B. Dodger. C Charles Dickens. 24 What did Oliver have to eat on his first day of walking. A. An apple and some bread. B. A piece of bread and some water. C Some food given by a nice old gentleman. 25. What does the underlined word “Artful” in Paragraph 4 mean? A.诚实的 B.狡猾的 C.愚蠢的 26. What does the story mainly teach us? A Don't judge(评判) a person only by his name. B. Never follow a stranger to an unknown place. C. Be careful when accepting help from strangers. C ①Belarus(白俄罗斯) is known for its many unique(独特的)customs.

Let's learn about them together! ②Belarusians are open, warm, and honest. They often say “please” and “thank you”. They use “you” in different ways. Young people call each other by first names, but grown-ups use first names and father's names. ③When meeting, they shake hands, hug, or kiss, Old people kiss kids' foreheads(前额). Friends kiss each other's cheeks. Men may kiss ladies' hands to show respect. If you don't know a lady well, don’t shake hands unexpectedly. Just say she looks young and nice. ④To welcome guests, Belarusians give them bread and salt. Guests should bow, pretend to kiss the bread, take a small piece of it, then put salt on it, eat it, and say “thank you”. When you visit Belarusians, bring odd-numbered flowers (3,5,7……) for the hostess(女主人). Even numbers(偶数)are for people who have died. ⑤Belarusians laugh loudly to express happiness.

Among them, 12-year-old Brayden Belsky is the youngest —— but one of the most determined. Brayden taught himself how to fix computers. It all started when he played around with old equipment(设备) at home. One day, he bought a broken computer and tried to bring it back to life. “Once I succeeded, I just wanted to keep going,” he told Time for Kids. “The challenge of making things work again is truly fun.” But for Brayden, this is more than a hobby. Volunteering has brought him much more than he expected. First, he got a sense of achievement. He learned that his skills could make a real difference. The computers he fixes help adults find jobs, get a degree, or stay connected. Some users are children just like him. “Knowing that my work helps someone start a new life —— that feeling is priceless,” he says. Volunteering has also brought personal growth to Brayden. At first, he felt nervous working with much older volunteers. But now he feels completely comfortable. “They are like family,” he smiles. He has become more confident and less shy. The greatest gift volunteering has brought him is a sense of purpose. “I hope other kids see what I’m doing and realize that no matter what they love, they can use it to give back to their community, “Brayden says. “You don't have to be an adult to change someone's life. Helping others also helps you grow.” 56 What do the volunteers do with old computers in the nonprofit organization? 57. How did Brayden learn to fix computers? 58 How did Brayden feel at first when working with older volunteers? 59 What has volunteering brought Brayden? 60.
